Hm. I wonder what led to this then:joe-90 said:...I just don't 'do' abusive posts. Never have, never will.
and this:On April 17th said:Joe-90 if you wish to debate a subject then do so and within the rules. This does include descending to personal insults to other memebers. Further similar posts will be deleted.
On April 23rd said:Your post was deleted because the way it was worded was offensive and deliberately so in order to provoke an argumentative reply. You seem incapable of taking part in a discussion in a way that doesn't insult or wind people up, despite several warnings over the past weeks. You seem intent on spoiling subjects which are being debated by posting in the manner you do. It will not be tolerated, so i suggest you take on board the comments and change the way you post. The alternative is that posts which in our view are provocative or fall outside of the rules will simply be deleted. I hope that explains the stance we are taking and it wont be explained any further or again

Maybe I would; maybe I wouldn't. You'll never quite know, and you'll always wonder. (He will).joe-90 said:Maybe you'd like to show me one of my 'vile' posts? (he won't).
Shout louder - "they" might hear you. (He won't).joe-90 said:Maybe ANYONE would like to show me my vile posts (they won't).
Easy to say once the abuse has been deleted.joe-90 said:I don't do abusive posts. (He does).
And remove an object of general ridicule? That would be a shame.joe-90 said:Ban me from the forum if ever I do.
Say pretty please, and I might. (He won't).joe-90 said:Now take a look around the forum and see how many genuine vile posts there are. (he will but he won't admit it).
Untrue. I've seen plenty of posts from other members, Slogger to name but one, that have later been deleted.joe-90 said:Everyone can see that posts full of insults and swear words from other members are tollerated yet my posts that contain neither are not.
Untrue. You've previously labelled b-a-s as a "hand-wringer" (sic.), and yet he has complained many times about some of his posts that have been deleted...joe-90 said:The moderator is biased towards the 'hand-wringers'.
...therefore not obvious.joe-90 said:That is obvious to anyone reading this forum.
I think you mean "they're", but the moderators (a) have nothing to "prove", and (b) would be mad to reinstate, and thereby make public, the content of posts that have been deleted on the basis that they were unacceptable to the viewing public.joe-90 said:The moderator can easily put my posts back on the forum to prove their 'abuse'
Please refer to the specific statute, or documented case ruling, that supports your assertion. (He won't).joe-90 said:...as a copy is of all posts is held for seven years for legal reasons.
It's still there. (It is).joe-90 said:This post contains no abuse - but watch it disappear.
That is an abusive term.joe-90 said:The moderator is biased towards the 'hand-wringers'.
I didn't say, or imply, that they did. I said that they were abusive, and I said it because they were abusive. (They were).joe-90 said:But the posts that are deleted contain no swearing on libellous content.
In which case, preservation of the thread must surely prove that what you say is untrue.joe-90 said:Most of this thread will disappear once the moderator wakes up - and that will prove to you that what I say is true.
1. What are the other reasons then - the non-usual ones?joe-90 said:The usual reason that my posts are deleted is pointing out that BAS is biased towards asylum seekers as he is the son of an asylum seeker.
How weird that must be for you - to find that other people's opinions carry more weight than yours.joe-90 said:For some weird reason known only to the mod, that is seen as an insult to BAS even though it was BAS that gave the information in this very forum!
And if it doesn't disappear, then you will be proved wrong. (He will).joe-90 said:May I thank you , Softus for either:
A) Proving my point that the mod is biased (and this post will disappear even though it contains no abuse)
Finally we've agreed on something then - I'm f***ing brilliant, me.joe-90 said:B) Allowing this post to stand (and give my views) in a way that prevents the mod from deleting it as it would prove my case.
.

I'm in a 'win-win' situatiation and it is all down to you, Softus.

i am not biased :
joe-90 said:No, Softus. You aren't awake yet are you? The stuff that was deleted was the stuff that I'm currently filling the thread with. YOU are my witness, Softus.
If the posts disappear then you will know that the mod is biased.
If the thread remains then the mod will have to admit (at least to themselves) that they are hypocrites as they deleted this content just yesterday.
Oh and BAS DID say that he was the son of an asylum seeker but that his father was quite young at the time and that it was probably his grandfather that actually made the claim.
So there ya go mate!
Thanx once again.
